About Healthy Valdosta

This website is the brainchild of the Healthy Living Task Force, which is a program of the Lowndes County Partnership for Health (Partnership for Health). The Partnership for Health was incorporated in 1997 as a non-profit health organization serving Lowndes County and surrounding area.

Programs include:

The Healthy Living Task Force which coordinates community education and health screening programs.

The Partnership Health Center - a free medical clinic for the working uninsured residents of Lowndes County ages 18-64. The clinic is staffed by volunteer Physicians, Nurse Practioners, Physician Assistants, Registered Nurses, and LPNs.

The Partnership Cancer Fund which raises funds to assist local cancer patients.

MedBank, which helps individuals from a 31 county area gain access to free and low cost medication from pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Southern Wellness and Disease Management, which assists employees who have been diagnosed with a chronic disease.

The construction of this website is a component of a master plan developed by the Healthy Living Task Force to improve access to proper nutrition and physical activity in Valdosta and the surrounding area. The plan was developed by representatives from Public Health, Valdosta State University, the Valdosta City School System, the Lowndes County School System, the City of Valdosta, the Southern Georgia Regional Commission and the Lowndes County Partnership for Health. The development of the plan and this website were funded by the State of Georgia’s Chronic Disease Prevention Program.
